  Half Day con Capitan Alberto

  Let's Go Fishing "Papagayo" on April 13, 2026

  El pasado 13 de abril de 2026 tuve la oportunidad de realizar un tour de pesca junto a mis compañeros de trabajo con el Capitán Alberto. Esta fue ya mi tercera vez a bordo, y cada ocasión confirma su gran experiencia y conocimiento del Golfo de Papagayo. El Capitán sabe exactamente cuáles son los puntos de pesca más productivos y navega con total seguridad gracias a su vasta trayectoria en el mar. Además, cuenta con todo el equipo necesario para que la experiencia sea completa y disfrutable. Sin duda, siempre es un placer salir a pescar con él.

  Slow bite, But overall great trip!

  Let's Go Fishing "Papagayo" on June 1, 2026 • 4 adults

  Captain Alberto picked us up bright and early at Playa Del Coco for our trip. The fishing was slow, but him and his first mate did their best to put us on fish. We did end up catching a few smaller Mahi Mahi which was nice. Snacks and cold drinks were provided as well. Make sure to bring sunscreen and a hat because it gets hot out there. The coat has a canopy over the front seating area which was a blessing. Would definitely book again.

  Thank you very much for your review, Dustin. It was a pleasure having you on board. Although the fishing was a bit slow that day, we were glad to put some Mahi Mahi in the boat. At this time of year, many of the Mahi Mahi in our area are still juveniles and growing, so while they provide action, they do not always offer the big fights that larger fish do. We also had tuna in the area, but unfortunately they were not very active that day. That's fishing—some days everything comes together, and other days the fish make us work a little harder. We truly appreciate your patience and positive attitude. Hopefully next time we'll have even better conditions and the opportunity to get you on some larger fish and more exciting battles. Thank you again for choosing us, and we look forward to seeing you back in Costa Rica

  Best Birthday fishing trip!

  Let's Go Fishing "Papagayo" on May 13, 2026 • 2 adults

  My husband and I fish all over the world. Our trip was with Alberto was first class! Captain and “Izzy”, his first mate made this birthday extra special for me! We not only caught fish but they made frech ceviche right off of the hook! Alberto not only made the trip safe and comfortable, he also keeps it entertaining.

  I’m very happy with your comment. Thank you so much, and I’m really glad you had such a great time. I’m also happy you enjoyed your birthday, and I hope to see you again someday — maybe not soon, but someday. I hope we can go fishing together again and catch the giant trevally (GT) you were hoping for. The GT is a very picky fish when it comes to biting. It doesn’t like water that’s too clear, too cold, or too warm. The bait was good, but sometimes it just doesn’t happen. Maybe next time. If you come back and fish with me again, I’ll be more than happy to help and take care of you. Thank you again, and enjoy the rest of your stay in Costa Rica. I hope you have a wonderful time visiting the places I recommended.

  Half day trip with captain Alberto

  on March 10, 2026

  It was a great day of fishing with Captain Alberto. The boat had everything we needed for the fishing trip: fishing gear, bait, and a very experienced crew. We had a great time and will definitely book with them again.
